Driving back from work today, I was shocked by the number of elderly cutting about. Large chunks of my workforce put on 6 hours NTM to help the civil powers.
Hardly ever Trump stalwart, Iraq War advocate, and CNN analyst Max Boot has written an op-ed in in the Washington Post in which he promises that the coronavirus outbreak would not have been as negative if Hillary Clinton experienced won the 2016 presidential election. “We couldn’t have prevented...
Boris has finally announced stricter measures to protect his people, seems like Italy was roughly two weeks ahead of France, epidemic/pandemic wise and the UK was one week late to France as well.
Be safe out there, the only « good » news from Italy is the daily death toll is down to ~650 from 800 in 24 hours in a couple of days. Nothing yet to rejoice much. Also, Spain is hit severely too.
After the Polish border is shut, Germany loses 25% of its HGV transportation capability and the country is phucked.
Die Mutti asks the Polish government for help, as supermarkets are running out of stock. The only alternatives are using the Bundeswehr and the Luftwaffe.
In German:
Bundesverkehrsminister Andreas Scheuer (CSU) sagt, für Hamsterkäufe gebe es keinen Anlass. Die Logistik der Lebensmittelmärkte funktioniere. Und selbst wenn sich die Situation verschärfen sollte, gäbe es Lösungen, so der Minister.
That's the tragedy here . That someone goes out and buys a car beyond their reach , they default but the money has already been created so must be honoured somehow . You can't undo money .

Work today was rather slow for me However, lots of people (John Q. Public) not happy with being refused ability to visit patients/relatives/friends already in hospital. Luckily, I'm not working in that part of the hospital.

Oh yeah. I've just had a lot of fun on my company's team WhatsApp channel. Boris announced that people should stay home, so my team members started posting videos with his announcement and saying that they are not coming to work tomorrow. The team leader, though, responded that we are coming, as we are classified as key workers who are able to travel to work. My colleagues started taking a TOTAL piss out of the company, saying that Boris is our boss and I was the only member who defended the team leader. I said she was saying what she was required to say and it was not her private opinion.
Well, my job was cut today, by 50%. I'll only be working nightshifts from now on.
Fortunately, the government will cover the rest, or up to 90%. I'll probably lose about $300 in income.
Fu*k COVID-19 and the Chinese government.
